- The Reincarnation World Where Only I Know the Storyline
- RWWOKS Chapter 119
Looking up briefly, Fang Bo saw that the fourth person to clear the trial was a young woman.
She was a reincarnator specializing in mental magic, particularly a magic that allows her to absorb powers from monsters or animals. This ability can be divided into partial absorption and full-body absorption.
By transforming into different kinds of monsters, she enhanced her attributes, allowing her to adopt a strategy that targeted her opponent’s weaknesses.
Just like in the previous battle, she dodged skillfully from start to finish, waiting for the perfect moment to land a critical blow that took down her opponent.
Her offensive approach was sharp, capable of handling any type of enemy with ease. It was somewhat similar to Fang Bo, though her endurance for long battles was slightly weaker.
“If she could obtain the soul of some especially powerful monster, her combat ability would probably skyrocket.”
In the next half hour, no one else managed to defeat the three examiners.
Thus, the top four of the Sunagakure faction were officially confirmed.
– Ghost Swordsman Yodel: Possessed terrifying swordsmanship skills, with lightning-fast and invisible sword strikes. Based on his performance, he appeared to be the strongest contender at the moment.
– Magic Conductor RuGe: Capable of transforming into various monsters, allowing her to adapt perfectly to any situation.
– Evil Eye User Dark Soul: His abilities remained unknown, but it was said he could control an extremely fearsome black flame.
– Puppet Master Jason: His combat puppet excelled in close-range attacks, exhibiting formidable defensive and battlefield control abilities.
These four heavyweights would be the key figures in this Space War, and the outcome would largely depend on how they performed.
[Battlefield Prompt: Reach Konoha Village within 30 days.]
As soon as the trial ended, the Space promptly issued the next set of instructions.
However, Fang Bo had no intention of following the standard procedure.
The true highlight of this Chūnin Exam wasn’t the Space War but rather the “Konoha Crush Plan” orchestrated by Sunagakure and Otogakure.
After the Third Shinobi World War ended, all the major Hidden Villages began demobilizing to cut down their enormous military expenses.
The once tens of thousands of ninja armies were reduced to merely two to three thousand active ninjas, most of whom were stationed in outposts outside the villages.
This is why, despite appearing to have only a handful of ninjas, the Five Great Nations could suddenly deploy a terrifying army of a hundred thousand when the Fourth Shinobi World War began.
Demobilization was a necessary step to restore the economy after the war, yet Sunagakure remained perpetually short on funds.
Even though the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, could extract gold, his efforts alone weren’t enough to sustain the enormous village of Sunagakure.
Through a series of coincidences, Rasa came into contact with Otogakure’s leader, and they quickly decided to implement a plan called “Konoha Crush.”
Given the tense situation within their village, Sunagakure’s leadership unanimously approved the plan.
To maintain secrecy, only a select few were aware of it, and even the communications with Otogakure were personally handled by the Kazekage.
They thought everything was foolproof, but things went horribly wrong.
The treacherous Orochimaru, along with Kimimaro, ambushed the Kazekage, killing Gaara’s father on the spot without giving him a chance to escape.
Having committed such a heinous act, Orochimaru continued with his ambition by using the “Face Copy Technique” to impersonate the Kazekage, currently operating from the Kazekage’s office in Sunagakure.
One had to admit, Orochimaru’s audacity was astounding; he was toying with the entire Sunagakure village single-handedly.
This made Fang Bo wonder—if he exposed Orochimaru’s identity, what kind of benefits could he gain?
Needless to say, he was quite eager to find out.
Turning down others’ invitations, Fang Bo left the bustling plaza alone.
He never liked group activities, and besides, he had a side quest waiting for him to complete.
Orochimaru was ruthless and incredibly powerful; approaching him alone was tantamount to courting death.
The best course of action would be to find a high-ranking official from Sunagakure, someone authoritative enough to investigate the true identity of the Kazekage.
Someone like Baki would be useless in this regard; the ideal candidates were actually the two individuals Fang Bo was about to visit.
The Sunagakure advisors, Chiyo and Ebizō.
Only this sibling duo had the influence and capability to question the Kazekage’s identity. After all, they were instrumental in supporting Rasa’s rise to the position of the Fourth Kazekage.
“Looks like I won’t be sleeping tonight,” Fang Bo muttered.
Wandering around Sunagakure, he found nothing worth purchasing and returned to his residence to await a response.
Meanwhile, in a certain location in the Land of Wind, a figure appeared atop a cliff.
“So this is the Naruto world,” the burly man muttered, full of emotion.
As one of the crossover worlds with three levels of difficulty, most reincarnators had at least heard of its name, even if they had never been there.
Raghu the Mighty was one of them.
For the sake of his organization, he had spent most of his time in the King of Fighters world and hadn’t expected his first visit to the Naruto world to be under these circumstances.
As he gazed into the distance, the Space relayed a series of prompts.
[You have entered the Space Battlefield]
[You cannot accept any form of quests]
[Defeating Reincarnators will not yield treasure chests]
[Damage to storyline characters is significantly reduced]
[ID 14552’s coordinates will be sent to you periodically]
[Warning: Approaching within a 3-kilometer radius of the target will automatically reveal your position]
[Warning: You will be targeted by storyline factions]
[Warning: Other Reincarnators will likely assist the target in counterattacks]
The barrage of warnings left Raghu feeling a bit dizzy.
He knew this was due to the vast power gap between him and his target.
The space encouraged competition between reincarnators, but it wouldn’t allow veterans to wantonly slaughter newcomers.
Someone like him would face severe restrictions, and even ordinary workers would find these conditions hard to accept, let alone someone as famous as Raghu.
“Whatever. It’s an order from the organization, and the compensation afterward will be worth it.”
Raghu had actually heard about the so-called No. 7 experiment some years ago.
He had no personal grudge against him, but since he was here, he might as well find a way to take this guy’s head.
“Hey, who are you?!”
At that moment, Raghu realized he had been surrounded.
No, to be precise, he had directly descended into a hideout belonging to a storyline faction.
A quick glance told him that this was a bandit camp hidden deep in the mountains.
Judging by the situation, there even seemed to be ninjas among them, and the faint sense of danger gradually excited him.
“So this is what they meant by targeting me—engaging in battles with storyline factions no matter where I go.”
A bloodthirsty smile spread across his face as Raghu’s body began to emit a thick, viscous blood aura.
“Roar!!!”
An inhuman howl erupted from his throat, and in the next second, Raghu was already in front of the man who had shouted earlier.
Grabbing his opponent, he dragged him along and charged forward at full speed.
This was a grappling move he had learned from a storyline powerhouse—**Heaven’s Gate!**
“Hahaha, come on, let my Serpent Blood boil even more!”
With a maniacal grin, Raghu leaped into the enemy crowd like a wild beast.
A bloodbath ensued in this secluded land.
**Boom, boom, boom!**
…..
That night, Fang Bo arrived at the residence of the two advisors as promised.
The estate was quite large, and as Fang Bo walked along the perimeter wall, he couldn’t quite calculate its exact size.
“Must be nice to be rich,” he muttered, feeling a sense of envy as he stepped into the mansion.
The moment he entered, a needle-like pain suddenly surged through his body.
His perception ability was constantly warning him.
“There are traps all around,” Fang Bo realized. This was clearly a test set by the old woman.
After all, why would the home of a Kage-level powerhouse have traps without a reason?
If he used his Raid Suit, he could easily bypass them, but that would defeat the purpose of this trial.
[Hint: Your final reward will greatly vary based on your performance]
The quest had made it clear: this was about the “Puppet Master’s Legacy,” not a test of Germa technology. Cheating would only result in a significantly reduced reward.
Obediently taking out the Zero Type of Yoriichi, Fang Bo carefully ventured into the trap-laden area, his fingers rhythmically controlling the puppet.
For the next ten minutes, Fang Bo endured a grueling ordeal.
He faced a barrage of projectiles from every direction, relying solely on the puppet’s weapons and movements to counter them, making the experience extremely challenging.
He didn’t mind his own injuries, but seeing the puppet’s durability rapidly deplete was heart-wrenching—after all, that meant more money down the drain.
Thankfully, he managed to get through it and arrived, battered and bruised, at the steps, where he found the old woman Chiyo reclining on a rocking chair.
“Tsk, kid, your fundamentals are pretty weak,” Chiyo yawned, sleepily eyeing the odd assortment of weapons attached to the puppet.
“Your swordsmanship is passable; at least you know how to use a weapon properly.”
“But what’s with that scythe? And those fans—aren’t they supposed to be for fanning wind?”
Hearing the old woman’s words, Fang Bo instinctively wanted to retort, but he suddenly froze in place.
Recalling his past battles, he realized a fact he had subconsciously ignored.
Compared to the two Nichirin Blades, which dealt tons of damage, the scythe and the fans often resulted in zero damage.
Those so-called “epic-tier weapons” were merely a psychological comfort—they weren’t performing as they should.
Firstly, it was due to differences in weapon characteristics. The longer blade of the Nichirin sword always reached the target with ease.
Secondly, it was a matter of his skill proficiency. Fang Bo’s Basic Swordsmanship was already at level 4,
but as for Basic Dual Wielding? He didn’t know it at all.
Thirdly, his Puppet Control skill was simply inadequate to manage six weapons simultaneously.
More weapons didn’t necessarily mean better, especially if he lacked the ability to wield them effectively.
Truth be told, the puppet’s combat performance was often stronger when Fang Bo wasn’t controlling it.
“I…”
[Side Quest: Puppet Master’s Legacy (Completed)]
[You have obtained the Master-Level Scroll “Puppet Theater LV1”]
Looking down in a daze, Fang Bo stared at the quest reward in his hands.
**Puppet Theater LV1**: A master-level fundamental skill that allows you to perfectly control your puppets.
This was a scroll typically found only in Level Two difficulty worlds, now lying quietly in his grasp.
Without hesitation, Fang Bo chose to use it, and an influx of puppet control experience began to fill him up.
To the storyline character watching, this was a sign that Fang Bo was mastering a new technique, and Chiyo smiled approvingly.
“Not too shabby, kid,” she muttered as she approached the Zero Type of Yoriichi with curiosity.
Examining the puppet closely, Chiyo was intrigued. She saw the foundational elements of a “Human Puppet” in its design.
It managed to replicate a powerful warrior’s abilities without any organic components.
As for the six unusual arms, she guessed it was due to the creator’s lack of expertise, unable to achieve the desired result perfectly.
“Two arms weren’t enough, so they just added six? What a foolish idea.”
Chiyo, being a top-tier puppet master, instantly recognized the design concept of the Zero Type of Yoriichi.
In fact, she even knew how to improve it, at least enough to eliminate its existing flaws.
But why would she bother?
“I’m already retired. Let the young ones deal with their own problems,” she said with a hint of amusement.
